Answer 1

i have never seen  that netwrok before but they sure do make light of the skill and knowledge that a competent contractor  has. they  draw from years of experience  to save money on costly mistakes they ask all the right questions at the right time, i am not saying it can't be done  by bypassing the general contractor but from my experience as a plumber, when the homeowner is GC the cost of the building seems to sky rocket from the lack of knowledge from the homeowner and it ends up being a nightmare job for all the subcontractors and the  owner isn't too happy with the end product  . Be careful  of these companies that make lite of the trades , and remember the cheapest guy is the cheapest for many many reason.you get what you pay for

Answer 2

I am a retired professional custom home builder of over 20 years now home designer and consultant. I had a client about a year ago that started out using this site and found that there is more to it than they could help with. My advice, There are some good owner Builder Consultants out there like me with many years of hands on experience building houses that are willing to help for a small fee. This one on one contact can help you more than anything you read in a book or on a web site.

Best of luck
